The mission of the Flora Academic Foundation is to provide financial support to supplement, enrich, and enhance quality programs and educational opportunities for the children of the Flora Unit School District #35.

The mission is undertaken by an 18-member governing Board representing the community-at-large. While the Foundation operated under the auspices of the Board of Education, the financial decisions are made by the Foundation member, after consultation with the district administration.

Through the use of private funding and resources, the Foundation will adhere to these purposes:

To develop pride (in the community) in the eduational programs of the Flora Schools

To establish a system of support for those students wanting to work on advanced academic projects

To help provide activities for students that could be classified as special learning experiences

To enhance communication between the school and community

To assist in further developing and improving the academic climate for students in the Flora Unit School District #35 of Clay and Wayne County
